Watch Now: CommonBound Videos and Livestream

Posted on 8/1/16

CommonBound 2016 was packed with nearly 100 panels, workshops, and open spaces taking place over the course of three-days. In a conference about visionary strategies for transforming our economy and politics, there was a lot to cover!

With so many great sessions, we know it was hard to pick which one to go to. That’s why this year NEC partnered with Extraenvironmentalists to livestream panels and plenaries throughout the weekend.
